4. FORMULAS-Chapter 21 (Chapter 5) Expenditure Approach: GDP = C + I + G + NX (Consumption, Investment, Government, Net Exports) Income Approach: GDP = W + I + R + P + Indirect taxes – Subsidies + Depreciation GDP = Net domestic product at factor cost+ Indirect taxes – Subsidies + Depreciation Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost = Wages + Interest + Rent + Profit Total Income: Y = C + S + NT (Consumption + Savings + Net Taxes) Income = Expenditure Net Exports = Exports - Imports Savings = Y – C - NT RGDP per Person = RGDP / Population

5. FORMULAS-Chapter 22 (Chapter 6) Unemployment rate = Number of people unemployed x 100 Labor force Labor force participation rate = Working-age population x 100 Labor force % Change = Original variable x 100 difference between two variables % Change = original/base # x 100 Current # - original/base #

6. FORMULAS-Chapter 23 (Chapter 7) CPI in current year  CPI in previous year CPI in previous year x 100 Inflation rate = CPI = Cost of CPI basket at current period prices Cost of CPI basket at base period prices x 100 GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP  Real GDP)  100. Price of stamp in 2007 dollars = Price of stamp in 1907 dollars x CPI in 2007 CPI in 1907 Nominal wage rate in 2006 CPI in 2006 x 100 Real wage rate in 2006 = Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate – Inflation rate.

8. FORMULAS- Chapter 25 (Chapter 9) Growth of real GDP = Real GDP in current year Real GDP in previous year x 100 Real GDP in previous year – Growth of real GDP = per Person Real GDP per Person in current year Real GDP in previous year x 100 Real GDP per Person in previous year – Growth of real GDP per person Growth rate of real GDP Growth rate of population – = Growth of Population = Population in current year Real GDP in previous year x 100 Population in previous year – Labor Productivity = Real GDP Aggregate hours Years to Double = Annual % Growth Rate 70 Real GDP = quantity of labor (aggregate hours) x Labor productivity
